Burnout – When Exhaustion Takes Over Your Life

• I feel weak, drained, and constantly tired.

Do any of these sound familiar?
Many people don't realize they're experiencing burnout until it's already deeply affecting their lives. They push through, thinking: "Once I get through this, things will get better." Or: "I just don't have time to focus on myself right now."

But burnout doesn't simply go away. The earlier you acknowledge the signs, the sooner you can begin to recover – and reconnect with your energy, clarity, and sense of self.

Burnout is more than just feeling tired.

Its symptoms often resemble depression – but the root causes are usually different. People with burnout tend to have very high expectations of themselves. They want to succeed, get everything right, and be reliable no matter what. Or they may be caught in a particularly stressful life situation that feels impossible to escape.

Eventually, it becomes too much – emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Therapy can help you find your way back.

In therapy, we explore – without judgment – how your burnout developed. We look at the patterns, beliefs, and coping strategies you've relied on until now. We identify what's no longer working, and what you want to keep or change.

Your suffering is acknowledged.
Your past efforts are seen and valued.
And step by step, you can begin to develop a new, more compassionate perspective on yourself.

I'm here to support you through this process – at your own pace, with care and respect.

Because healing doesn't mean learning to function again – it means finding your way back to yourself.
